Packages are already up to date. Been running lmce from a net install in February. Had problems when mythtv 0.23 was rolled out (had to do a dist-upgrade). I've tried this several times with the same outcome (using ping restore then upgrading).

I was also having problems on my MD's after the 0.23 update. I did an apt-get remove of mythtv-backend and mythtv-frontend and then an apt-get install and included pluto-mythtv-player. Make sure that your apt-sources is pinned to linuxmce. mysql will give a failure but mythtv will still work.

how do I update my MD's to the latest version of the Mythtv frontend? I removed the current one and did apt-get install mythtv-frontend and I can see it install version .22. When I do this on my core I get version .23.

check if you have got an /etc/apt/sources.list.d/avenard.list file and remove it.also look for "avenard" in your /etc/apt/sources.list

If nothing there, then do an apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade

If you still have 0.22 then do the folowing :

dpkg -l |grep myth

This will give you a list of all mythtv packages. Then do a :apt-get install mythweb mythtv-XXX mythtv-YYY

replacing XXX and YYY with all the names beginning with "myth" found in the above dpkg command.That should then say it is DOWNGRADING all packages to 0.23. The reason is that the 0.22 packages has "higher" numbers.

I just added the preference file to that location and tried to update.. The update did not work and I got some errors. I think I am just going to start fresh and reinstall the MD before attempting again.

I tried this - the apt preferences file on the core was as indicated.I re-ran Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh, had some coffee, and then rebuilt my MD image.Still wrong apt preferences file on the MD Should I have deleted the MD fully, and started from scratch?
